Polylines in the line work file can be used as a guide to display the route the machine should travel or control the blade during operation. Generally, a file containing the alignment file is used for operations of the route.
Polyline is used to display characteristics of the job site such as building bases, curbs, walkways, tops and bases of slopes, borders of projects, etc. It is also used to display the centreline of the alignment data. If each point constituting the polyline has 3D information, it can be selected on the main screen. Selected polylines are used as alignment data for steering display of the machine, or as design elevations to control the blade.
